KRONE Balers & Bale Wrappers

Round Balers, Square Balers & Wrappers: What’s the Difference?

Choosing the right machine comes down to bale shape, output and how the crop will be stored, transported or sold. Here’s how KRONE’s range breaks down:

• Round BalersRound balers produce cylindrical bales, ideal for a wide range of farm sizes and handling methods. KRONE’s round baler range spans simple fixed-chamber machines through to premium variable-chamber balers, with bale diameters up to 1.90 m depending on the model. Fixed, semi-variable and variable chamber options let you match output and bale density to your operation.
• Large Square BalersFor contractors and large-scale operations, KRONE’s BiG Pack large square baler range produces dense, stackable rectangular bales that transport and store more efficiently than round bales. Chamber sizes go up to 120 x 90 cm (120 x 130 cm on the widest model), with XCut and VariCut precision chopping systems, featuring up to 51 knives, ensuring consistent density and cut quality. Paired with the BaleCollect accumulator, square balers streamline field logistics by cutting loading time, labour and soil compaction.
• Bale WrappersOnce a bale is formed, EasyWrap bale wrappers seal in silage and haylage quality straight off the baler, preserving feed value and preventing spoilage. Several KRONE models, including those in the Comprima, Comprima Plus, ComPack Pro and CombiPack HDP ranges, combine baling and wrapping in a single machine, reducing handling and speeding up silage production.
